Wireless sound system

Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft) Other room The wireless sound system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator [e.g. [W2] (SC-PTX7: [W1] )] flashes on the home theater unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the wireless sound system. This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater unit. If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless sound system, or move the wireless sound system nearer to your home theater unit.

Place the wireless sound system within approximately 30 m (98 ft) from the home theater unit.
